Signs of a scorching summer?

It is still February, yet even in the evening, the cooling fans have
come on and I'm down to a single t-shirt. During the day, it feels as
hot as summer which officially is still almost half a year away so the
actual hot season may be the hottest I've ever seen. We've even started
thinking about the air conditioners we should add in the new office.

If I look at what has changed since last year, the main thing I
notice is more roads and less trees. Maybe that is a contributing
factor. Global warming maybe? Whatever the cause may be, the extreme
heat, combined with all the power shortages which are bound to return at
the most inopportune time, will make this summer a scorching and
unbearable one. Be warned.
